Gray and Green

Gray and green And forlorn hues Take me away from the relentless blue Gray and green A novel muse Far away from deficits and revenues The theater's all vacant The streets were calm last night I sat down in a restaurant booth Beneath fluorescent lights Through the open door The sea breeze drifted in Welcoming me home Dancing across my skin Gray and green The seagulls flew As if the night had left its residue Gray and green And never rain Afflicted but never crushed by pain The theater's all vacant The streets were calm last night I sat down in a restaurant booth Beneath fluorescent lights On the open road The sea breeze drifting in Welcoming me home Dancing across my skin Gray and green And subtle clues That Jesus sported a discolored bruise Gray and green And morning dew The oceanside begins anew
